Rare Sciponoceras baculoide Fossil Baculites Lower Cenomanian Cretaceous

Description

Rare Fossil Ammonite Identification

This listing presents a rare Sciponoceras baculoide fossil, identified as a Baculites-type ammonite from the Lower Cenomanian stage of the Cretaceous. Its combination of named identification, geological age and fossil-group terminology makes it an appealing addition to collections focused on ammonites, Cretaceous palaeontology and historic marine life.

The specimen is associated with Glynde, United Kingdom, and is from the Alice Purnell Collection. The photograph shows the actual specimen you will receive.

Geological Context

The Cenomanian is a stage of the Cretaceous Period and represents an important interval in the history of marine ecosystems. During the Cretaceous, ammonites were widespread marine cephalopods with coiled and specialised shell forms. Baculites and related baculitid ammonites are particularly notable for their unusual straight or near-straight shell development compared with the familiar tightly coiled ammonites often seen in fossil collections.

Sciponoceras is associated with these distinctive heteromorph ammonites. The identification Sciponoceras baculoide and the Lower Cenomanian designation provide useful scientific context for display, research and comparison with other Cretaceous ammonite fossils. The geological age also makes this specimen suitable for collectors interested in Cretaceous stratigraphy and the evolution of ammonite shell forms.

Collector and Display Appeal

This fossil is well suited to a private fossil collection, natural-history display, educational setting or ammonite-themed cabinet. Named fossils with a stated geological stage are especially useful for collectors who value identification and geological context alongside visual interest. It can also serve as an engaging conversation piece for anyone interested in extinct cephalopods, marine palaeontology or the fossil record of the Cretaceous.

The association with the Alice Purnell Collection adds collection history to the item and makes it a distinctive choice for collectors seeking a specimen connected with a named collection. Full sizing is shown in the photographs.
